Membranes that are used in wastewater treatment have been found to clog more rapidly at cold temperatures. This study will examine alternative operating strategies that will reduce clogging and thereby reduce the needs for extra energy and chemical consumption under these operating conditions.

The intern will be working on a research project aimed improving scalability and applicability of automated reasoning tool called SPACER by improving the way it deals with special data types. Overall, the goal of this project is to make SPACER a more effective and reliable tool for verifying program correctness.

Open-ended problem solving plays an important role in industrial innovation, product development, strategy formulation, and many other applications. The study will use experimental methods to investigate the behaviour of individuals while solving open-ended problems, and will entail the gathering and analysis of both qualitative and quantitative data. Individual problem-solving tasks will be given to participants […]

The project is dedicated to the explore how the effective interface for a small modular nuclear reactor should look considering human factors and current digital technology design trends. The research will review the significance and application of modern human-computer interaction techniques to ensure a better user experience and to achieve substantial safety and operational benefits […]

A new aqueous rechargeable battery combining an intercalation cathode with a metal anode has been developed recently. The energy density for a prototype battery is comparable or superior to commercial 2 V rechargeable batteries. There is a need to further improve the cycle performance and to reduce self-discharge effects of this battery. In this proposed […]

There is increasing urgency to accelerate sustainability progress and address growing social and environmental challenges. Current approaches to solving these complex issues, such as new technology and governance, are failing to support the kinds of changes needed to collective wellbeing. Interest is growing around how individual values, worldviews, beliefs, and consciousness can be transformed so […]

This project supports relationship development with First Nations communities in British Columbia to facilitate collaboration on a larger flood-risk reduction project, which focuses on integrating Western expertise in architecture, engineering and social science with Indigenous Traditional Knowledge to create a new, collaborative approach for flood risk reduction in Indigenous communities in Canada. Relationship building prior […]

This project seeks to play a role in making fusion energy a reality, a big step in energy decarbonization. The project is in collaboration with General Fusion, based in British Columbia, where a fusion reactor is being designed, based on a spinning cylinder of liquid lithium which is mechanically collapsed around a plasma to produce […]

The proposed research aims to find the optimal application rates of liquid chemicals which are applied to a road surface before and during a snow storm. These chemicals are used to accelerate the melting of snow and ice. The effects of various factors such as traffic, pavement temperature and other environmental factors on the performance […]

This project is a collaboration between Korea’s Soongsil University NDT Lab and Canada’s Waterloo University Computer Vision for Smart Structure Lab (CViSS), aiming to promote new research at each institute and build smart construction and infrastructure monitoring. NDT Lab focuses on developing non-destructive engineering technologies for concrete internal crack width, reinforcing bar diameter and internal […]

In this project, we will be investigating a potential therapeutic target for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is a type of blood cancer and the five year survival rate is less than 30%. We will be studying a receptor called OR2AT4, which has been found in the white blood cells of AML patients. This receptor […]

Thermal fatigue is a problem that can happen when making metal products using a certain tool. The tool gets extremely hot when the metal is poured in, and then it cools down quickly when the metal hardens. This can happen over and over again, and it can make the tool break or not work as […]
